postsecret

The postsecret postcard idea was a good way of letting the guilt off your chest to the person you are holding the secret from. I found a photo of a PC and windows 8 and made that the background, and it represents the secret i have. This is because i own a PC computer(not really, fake secret) that my parents gave me as a gift but ive always used apple products and am a mac guy, which they dont know and i would feel bad telling them that id rather have another computer than the PC. But, oh well. My audience would be to people who have trouble identifying if they are a PC or Mac person. I think my design maches the secret because it embodies the essence of the problem: miicrosoft windows.

peer review

I think todays peer review went very well. My revision process will include me adding more detail in my essay while clarifying some points that i realized were confusing. The most effective peer review format would probably this on because it helped me find the points of my essay that weren't so clear and i now have suggestions to correct the errors rather just underlining. A main part i will add to the essay is a personal experience of a sweatshop worker so i can catch the attention of readers and elaborate more on their situation.

spoof ad

This spoof ad appeals to me because of the way it works to mock mcdonalds. The use of red and yellow, the colors of McDonald, highlights the hazard sign on the fries, which is important to prove to the readers that fries are rather dangerous to your health. Also the needle going into the burger is another way of representing the quality of the food with all the chemical enhancements, used to gross our customers. It is evident this ad is making fun of mcdonalds ads because it contains  the image of a meal, fries, drink, and burger  Each looking poisonous in its own way.

magazine ad

This ad is advertising for buffalo wild wings bar and grill, and is using the visual play of a beer in the center of the table with hands surrounding it, grabbing for it. The words "jump ball" are near the center along with several other beers and wings on the table. The lifestyle this ad promotes is an active, sporty lifestyle were friends go out to watch the game and have a few drinks and food. The ad is geared toward an audience of sports fans and mid-young friends rather than families or young kids. The ad suggests that if i go to buffalo wild wings, i would have a fun time with friends with good wings and chilled beer. It touches on pathos because sometimes you just feel a night to relax and hang with the guys, or a group of friends chilled.

story

When you wake up to the sound of the TV blasting a football game, you know what day it is; College game day. Slowly i wake up from a long night out to here my roommates already getting into the festivities of what i consider my favorite day of the week. As i walk into the living room i see a college football game being played on the TV, friends wearing all the FSU gear they can, and the first of many batches of drinks being distributed. Game day, its simply an occasion to celebrate every week. As kickoff approaches within a few hours, we rush to leave our place for the tailgate to get as much fun in as we can before the game. The tailgate serves as a place for all our friends to congregate and have a great time in the great weather outside before we all walk to the stadium together  Its been a long day of drinking and games, and finally its close to tip off. We begin to make the oh so forgetful journey to Doak, to gather with even more people to root on  our school. After we pass security, we make our necessary concession stop and on the way to our seats. The atmosphere at the game was nothing less then unbelievable. Watching all the on field occasions such as the spear throw, cheerleaders, band, and all the necessary Seminole traditions makes me realize how great of a school this is. The Seminoles blew out the team, and this lead to more celebrations after the game and through the night. It was a good first game day for me. I can defiantly get used to this.

We enjoy the plenty drinks and games in the beautiful weather outside with no worries of the week. As tip off approaches, we gather the gang after a long day of fun and games to begin to make the oh so forgetful journey to Doak.

Blogger reflection

I mainly focused on the information that students that didn't attend class would need to know because it would be beneficial to them in their abscence. Everything we did in class, i tried to document on the blog. I included 2 images in the blog, one of the class working to show it was a typical day and another of the rubric chart that the student would need to see if they weren't in class. As the class blogger, my perspective changed of the classroom. I realized how much the entire class worked together as a group rather individually working at our computers.

Monday

We began class talking about Ms. Lang's unfortunate events to her car this past weekend. If you were waiting to recieve some work back from her, talk to her because her backpack was stolen. She then went over the requirements for the essay due on Wednesday, such as the works cited page. Next up, we completed the mid semester evaluation located on her blog site (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHUzaU9IcVdwRU9ndTBybHFDR0Y1dHc6MQ#gid=0). Once the evaluations were finished, we moved onto constructing our rubric. The steps: Review the assignment sheet, list 10 things to be graded, then rank them in order of importance. Then we got into groups and combined our information into the chart to show what each group thought were the 10 most important things to be graded on. We ended class with a final chart of the rubric. We did not reach the discussion of our HW (on writing, pg. 542), so it will be discussed next class.
